Description:
This package contains the license, README.txt and configuration
files for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA Driver for WiFi, a Linux
device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-,
BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43142-, BCM43224-, BCM43225-, BCM43227-,
BCM43228-, BCM4331-, BCM4360 and -BCM4352- based hardware.
FWIW I had a similar sudden loss of wifi last year with an old Broadcom-
equipped HP laptop running kubuntu. No firmware load. Still not
solved, but at the time it would connect when running an SL7 live DVD.
